The MSR Sweetwater is an award winning water purification system (winner of a “best of the best” 2009 Editors’ Choice Award from Women’s Adventure Magazine for ease-of-use and offering “extra protection and peace of mind.”) that would make a great complement to your backpacking ensemble.

With an output of 1.25 Liters per minute and a 4:1 mechanical advantage dual-action pump, this filter can serve the needs of several backpackers at your base camp.
